The following is a list of churches around the archdiocese holding celebrations in Spanish in honor of the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Dec. 12. The celebrations honor Mary as patroness of the Americas, a title arising from her appearances in 1531 to St. Juan Diego on Tepeyac hill outside Mexico City. Her image, miraculously transferred to the cloak or tilma of the saint, has been preserved for over 470 years and is displayed in a basilica in Mexico City. For information on activities at churches with Hispanic ministries not on this list, please contact the church office directly.
